Customer Reviews
Fantastic
If a podcast was to drink milo, eat organic donuts and bathe in dugong oil it would turn into something as energetic and awesome as The Minutes is. Can't wait for the next one!
Love it.
Finally Mel Buttle has a podcast! Been waiting for this for ages, great start to what will hopefully be a long successful podcast series.
Awesome! So many lolz to be had here!
What's not to like here? Friends Patience from the Grates and underrated comedian Mel Buttle doing a podcast together!
You guys make hilarious podcast episodes with all of your normal stories turned bad or good (from hating the Splendour experience to knocking-out primary schoolers at age 8) in such comical ways with hilarious anecdotes and great comedic timing! Whether or not this intentional is besides the point coz it works either way! I only used to listen to and wait eagerly for the "Josh Thomas and Friends" podcast to be released (not often enough mind you!) to get my fix of Australian podcast comedic goodness which I could really relate to but now I think Josh and co. have a mighty strong and may I even say better competitor on their hands.
I haven't had KFC in years but you guys make me wanna go out and grab a family sized bucket of chicken right now!
Please give me a shout-out in the next episode, this way we'll know you're really paying attention to your adoring fans.
Really looking forward to the next instalment of The Minutes!
